About Distinctively Dionysian & Orders
Heretics, free spirits, iconoclasts, incendiary lovers… bienvenue.
Distinctively Dionysian is a journal for the self-owned, for those who defy the static and refuse all cages—collectivist, ideological, or otherwise. It is written for my own pleasure, and for those whose spirit flickers with mine: kindred exiles, rare affinities, insurrectionary hearts.
This is not an educational act—it is indulgence. It is reclamation. A fire-lit feast of original writings, art, translations, and resurrected ghosts. Dionysian exists in both French et English, and often lifts lost or forbidden texts into new light—through the lens of language, refusal, and sovereign delight.
There is no agenda here. I simply enjoy writing—especially now, having raised a crew of remarkable enfants—and creating something for the wild, the unreadable, and the unclaimed. This is for those who laugh at ‘isms,’ who topple idols, who see in sin a wellspring.
Take my hand, you gloriously ungovernable poètes maudits… let us revel in the seduction of creative nothing.

HOW TO GET DISTINCTIVELY DIONYSIAN ITEMS
While Distinctively Dionysian now falls under the Bacchus Editions private press outfit (with a proper site forthcoming), we still prefer good old-fashioned letters in the mail. We are not a mass output affair—we are involved in mail conspiracies, affinities, and the slow pleasure of thoughtful exchange.
To receive Distinctively Dionysian in your mailbox, send $18 cash per issue.
(Yes, this seems to confuse non-anarchs. I don’t mean this snidely—but truly, it’s quite simple: you place the money inside a lovely letter, and you send it. Voilà.)
Note again: We (myself, and those involved with Bacchus) are not mass merchants. We tend to our affinities. We value face-to-face relationships and care deeply for our regular correspondents. We do many side projects, mail collaborations, and trades—so please be patient.
We also travel extensively and often route mail through different countries. Demands and time frames will not be met. We write as desire strikes. (That said, I do fill simple issue orders as timely as possible.)
A Note on Trades
We also trade on the basis of mutuality—and j’adore it. Show us you understand the heart and effort put into such a thing: send along what you make. Art, zines, writings, spells, strangeness—mail conspiracy is divine.
